A review by sashadinda
Seven Deaths of an Empire by G.R. Matthews
3.0
actual rating: 3.5/5
Well, this one was quite fun. While it wasn't anything groundbreaking, it does have an enjoyable plot and a familiar ancient roman setting.
I love how interesting the characters are, but I just can't seem to get attached to any of them. It's like in theory, they are interesting and they *should* be some of my favorite characters, but they aren't. And this is also how I felt for pretty much every aspect of the book. The worldbuilding is solid, the plot is enjoyable, but they never go beyond that to really set this book apart.
And while the politics and power play kept things interesting, the ending just fell flat to me and honestly felt out of place. I do feel like this book could be more but I still had an enjoyable time reading this and I think this book would be a nice choice for beginners to fantasy.
